Oxford Bookworms Library: The Ransom of Red Chief: Starter: 250-Word Vocabulary (Oxford Bookworms Library Classics) by Paul Shipton
This all started for me when I read Christopher Moore’s page-turner “Noir” . It mentions this story, by O. Henry, as it relates to a plot point in the book. I read the short story by O. Henry and liked it very much! This version is a comic book like interpretation of that short story, and it is not as good. It gets the overall general point of the story, that is, a kidnapping gone wrong, actually, a kidnapping sort of in reverse! But this version doesn't quite capture the humor of O. show more Henry's original, which is quite a chuckle. Still, I'm grateful to Moore for setting me along this path, and I'm glad I read it! show less

The Pig Scrolls by Paul Shipton
Way too snarky . . . generally relied on pop culture for its humor. Not a great choice for a kid who loves him some straight up mythology.

The Pig Scrolls by Paul Shipton
Has some childish humor, like it should because this book is geared for 10-14 year olds, but a good read. I know just a little more about Greek mythology now.
